As someone who has been building guitars for over 40 years and using CNC professionally for guitarmaking for eight years, I want to commend you on doing a wonderful job. I love the fact that you’ve got great woodworking chops, and don’t rely on CNC as some people do to make up for lack of talent. You and I approach a few things differently and that is only proof that there are more ways than one to skin a cat. All the best to you on your future builds.
I would be lying. I just finished a fully grain filled black painted tele style. It wouldn't be my choice but the customer wanted a smooth surface. It is actually quite hard to make it nice with a matt black finish.
CNC made inlays - great choice to highlight its precision When you say slanted frets (and pickups), do you mean there is a neck angle at the joint where the neck meets the guitar?
When you make necks with stringers (lines) to centralize the machine, do you make a center line, measuring, marking, or is there a better method of fixing without wasting much time?
Really nice! I will have a guitar sometime T.T whenever the world settles down and i can manage to afford it. But meanwhile content like yours keeps me interested in this wonderful instrument!
There's questions I always had A set neck with no locking mechanism (carves etc) like the one you made, won't become loose????? Btw you job was stunning, love your builds ❤
Hey, great build! There are some things you can improve to avoid potential errors in using the machine, I'm not criticizing, but some of the things you do can lead to you having to throw out parts or whole guitars due to avoidable errors. The positioning and locating can be greatly helped if you position the blank using known reference points (i.e. cutting a grid on the wasteboard, having locator pins, things like that - also, you should have the center line marked out on the blank and the wasteboard, I did not see that here, but maybe you did). The way you use your clamps to hold down the blank is not optimal. The way you use them, there is a chance the blank may break free or shift while machining. The clamps should not be angled, but flat with respect to the blank surface, this way you maximize the contact area and avoid introducing shear forces to your hold down. Seems counterintuitive, but having the holding force press down only instead of partially to the side makes the hold down more secure.
Thanks man for all the tips. I think it is valuable not just for me but to all that will read your comment. I do have a grid on a waste board and sure I'm using a center line an my blank. If necessary I also use pins. You need to have some technique to locate the piece for both sided milling. I will take your advice to my knowledge. Thanks for taking the time to explain it all.
@@MagicAtticGuitarsabout how expensive is a cnc machine that's able to make guitars like this? I hear machines go from $100s to $100,000s so I have no idea
Woow amazing! Love it. I just build my own first e-guitar with cnc. Very true, u cant just throw in some woodand a guitar comes out. Still lots of work! What wood is this in the neck, and how did you make it so thin without breaking it? Realy love this guitar
11:59 Have you ever tried to use Super Luminova Luminous Paint Set that watchmaker use for their watches? It would rock well used as an insert. Even for the stars on your fret board.
It kind of shocked me seeing the Ibanez custom shop doing so much CNC, when you know their usual stuff is handmade in Indonesia or something. I guess we are at the point where the precision of the machine just gives you a better standard.
@@MagicAtticGuitars yeah, tell me about it. If it weren't for him, I would have ruined 4x the wood needed before I successfully started CNCing. And I'm 39, too old to do it by hand any longer 😅
Thanks man. I would love to teach building guitars one day. I don't think I'm there yet with my knowledge and my workshop is way to small. What do you mean by projects for other people?
@@MagicAtticGuitars That would be a dream job! I'm on build # 2. You're shop is eons ahead of mine! The hardest part foe me is the neck. Just curious if you ever considered doing like a custom neck if someone was willing to pay?
Hey brother, It tool me awhile to comment but I have to say, I have mad respect for you man. You are a monster builder and I absolutely love your guitars! Peace & Love!
If he knows how to use them😅 It took a lot of time to figure out the basics of cnc. But it is an amazing tool. Opens up the whole world of possibilities. Thanks man!

You're one of the few human beings I trust with making CNC guitar projects interesting and fun :) I think you proved it well with the laser already
Hey! Two of my fav guitar builders intersecting right here! Love both you guys 😊
@tchiks guitars I'm honoured, man! This is very nice to hear. Thanks!
@@captbuscemi thanks man 🤘
No grain filler. You are my spirit animal.
Yeah 🤘 We should make "No garin filler " stickers😁
@@MagicAtticGuitars Or just swear an oath.

@@MagicAtticGuitars The one in this video is perfect. The grain makes it look right.
@@timhallas4275 my personal preference too. Ash grain with matt black is one of my favourite.

When you say slanted frets (and pickups), do you mean there is a neck angle at the joint where the neck meets the guitar?
Very inspirational. Well thought out, great looking design. Looks like it would be comfortable to play. I wish you continued success!
Hope your tech investments bring joy to your journey. Another great build.
Mostly joy, sometimes frustrations 😅
Thanks!
wicked guitar, glad it's a hardtail. that is an awesome scarf joint in the neck. well done.
I think you are the best luthier I have ever seen! Thanks
Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Superior work. Love your channel. ❤
Thanks Ray! It means a lot to me!
Love the guitar, it looks amazing! I'm building my first guitar soon and was just curious about what kind of finish you used on top of the stain?
When you make necks with stringers (lines) to centralize the machine, do you make a center line, measuring, marking, or is there a better method of fixing without wasting much time?
That guitar is beautiful.
So friggin rad. As usual. 🤘
Thanks Tye! 🤘

Waiting for the Hand-Powered CNC restoration 😀
It is an amazing tool. Quite stip learning curve though. But it is worth it.

No I haven't tried it. You think it would be better?
@@MagicAtticGuitars I think it would be nice, as it glows. And useful if you play in a dark place, without been "in your face" L.E.D. lights
The powder I used for side markers is also glowing in the dark.
@@MagicAtticGuitars Sorry i did not know.
@@cestusfr I should have pointed that out:)
Could you tell me what the dimensions of your CNC are? Beautiful work.😎🤘
Thanks man! The work area on my cnc is 400x700mm.

It sure has its benefits.
I really love this.❤
Soo perfect! Macht's du Gitarre nur aus Ahorn? Oder anders auch? Ich bin auch baue eine Gitarre aber ganz anders Formfaktor)
Thanks. This one is Ash Wood for body and maple for neck. But you can use a lot of other wood species.
sheesh. i would love to have a custom guitar built by you ❤️
Thanks for your message. You can contact me on my website.🤘

I like the guitar building channels that dont feel the need to incessantly talk.
Why do u say cnc is slower?
fucking amazing!!
Thanks man!🤘
Super🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
Lepa kitara :)
Hvala! 🙂
Anytime you do something that is completely different from how you normally do it, it is going to take longer.
Sure. But I'm not so new with cnc operating.
The problem comes when you design, plan, model and build each guitar from scratch.
😃😃😃
🤘
It's beautiful, but the relentless perfection of CNC makes me kind of sad
Thanks. There are always some finish touches done by hand that leave the mark of handcraft.
Stunning! \m/, ,\m/ :)
Thanks 😊
Wrong type of knob for that style pot.
That guitar is sexxxxxxyyyyy
the tools matter not to the master craftsman
If he knows how to use them😅 It took a lot of time to figure out the basics of cnc. But it is an amazing tool. Opens up the whole world of possibilities.
